The History of the Suit of Pentacles Tarot Card

The Pentacles is just one of the four suits in a Tarot deck, correlated with the tangible features and concerns. Because the Suit of Pentacles is represented by the element Earth, a stronger emphasis is placed on the soundness and dependability of items in your existence. The Earth is seen as a stable factor and a source for growth and prosperity from which positive or negative effects could occur.

Typically, Pentacles are called "Coins.' They have been generalized to represent monetary or opulent things, but they can mean so much more!

Whether it's a raise from your boss or a debt collector who has come knocking, a “Coin” is indicating that there is energy that needs to flow in a specific direction.
